My parents paid $600 CDN to be tested for admittance to an enriched high school program. The stupid guy made me click a stupid mouse for 15 minutes every time an X showed on the screen. He then diagnosed me with acute ADHD. I don't have ADHD. For my whole life I have been good at school, been able to sit still and concentrate on things for long periods of time, etc. Tried explaining to the guy that my arm fell asleep clicking the stupid mouse.
I also got nearly perfect on the Academy test itself.
That said, my parents ignored the diagnosis and I plugged right along with my straight 4.0 GPA. That's my experience with ADHD.
Oh ya, till grade 6 I did have trouble concentrating at school, but that because of the classroom being a riot of Ritalin-laced monsters. Went ot a private school for 7&8 and I got back on track for the rest of my learning career in public education.
You cut it in quarters? Yikes! What do you do, face-plant in the thing?:D Actually I bet you really cut it in 1/8s (three cuts with the knife). 3D really is a killer to comprehend:) Plus, isn't it still kind of hard to eat an eighth of one without face-planting?
Up here in Canada we prefer to slice watermelons twice longitudinally then laterally in 1" thick slices. Gives you a 1/4 round slice that is easy to eat.
And my point is that with 110VAC you won't
NEED the 42V outlets. Just a normal 110VAC wall wart. Ya I know they come in a million sizes and shapes too, but still.
In Ontario, I believe the law says that a company cannot *require* an employee to work more than 50 hours in a seven-day period. They can *request* it but cannot require it. And if an employee is punished for refusing to work more than 50 hours, it is the responsibility of the *employer* to prove that the punishment was in no way related to the work refusal. Same with unsafe work condition.
You didn't even read the blurb.

fact is that ordinary office buildings kill far more birds than wind turbines. (NPR had a story about this which mentioned the Aquarium in Chicago as a major bird killer)
So tell me: how many office buildings are there? How many wind turbines are there?
Now tell me: if there were equal numbers of both, what would the outcome be?
Commercial space transport planes kill fewer people than the space shuttle too, BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE!
Okay now that I have that out...I actually do agree with you about turbines not causing a problem.
In Canada we don't learn Ohm'
s law in elementary school. As a matter of fact, if we don't take the physics elective in grade 12, we never learn it. If you don't take physics obviously you don't go into anything electrically related in university, so once you miss physics you miss all the fun Ohm's law stuff.

No, you would have to go from 10AWG wire to 15AWG wire for example, which is still 68% the thickness of 10AWG. This is because cross-sectional area decreases at a rate proportional to diameter [radius] SQUARED.
Thats right, 2/3 the thickness not 1/3.

36 volts rather than 12 volts would mean that your wires could be 1/3rd the size and still transmit the same power. This is the real reason they're doing this.
You will need wires that are greater than one third the thickness. 1/3 the cross-sectional area, yes. The actual diameter of the wire will need to be 58% of the current thickness. Yes, that's MORE THAN HALF THE THICKNESS, NOT 1/3. Simple A = pi(R^2)
So if for a 12v circuit you now use 10-gauge wire (1 mOhm/ft) you could get away with 15-gauge wire (3 mOhm/ft) for 36V

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) allows anything less than 32V peak to be sold without approval.
So in Canada, the "lethal threshold" is 32V. The lethal threshold in reality depends completely on the environment (wet/dry) and the path of current through the body (through the heart/not through the heart).
Actually, the reason auto makers are going to 42V is because of electric-powered vehicles. You need at least 42V so you motors are cheaper and more powerful. Hopefully in a few years we won't be having gasoline fumes wafting into cars. Hydrogen, maybe.
Another thing...the Honda Element is 12V, yet they have a built-in 110V output. The issue already exists.

The CRT IS the capacitor. 15 kV between gun end and viewable end. Not fun.
